Sewing Machine Feet

EVEN FEED FOOT – WITH QUILTER GUIDEOne of the most popular Sewing Machine attachments is, without doubt, the Even Feed Foot.Sometimes referred to as the “Walking Foot” this clever attachment is designed with a set ofbuilt-in feed dogs (teeth) that grip and advance the upper layer of fabric whilst working inunison with the sewing machine feed dogs as they grip the underside of the fabric. This actionhelps to prevent layers of fabric from “shifting apart” as they move through the machine.It’s an essential attachment with many benefits.

FabricsUse this foot when matching stripes and checks, sewing draylons and velvets, making upknitwear or when sewing long seams on curtains especially if matching patterns. It’s also usefulwhen tackling leather, vinyl, or plastics and other difficult to handle materials.

QuiltingIt’s an absolute must for quilters. Used with the Quilter guide it helps to maintain perfect parallellines when stitching and keeps the fabric and batting layers from feeding through unevenly.

ChoicesBecause of its popularity and versatility in many aspects of sewing, Janome haveextended the design of the Even Feed Foot to suit the varying needs of their customers.

Standard Closed-Toe FootThe original Even Feed foot used in many aspects of sewing.

Standard Open-Toe FootThe Open-Toe version is often preferred by quilters as it allows better visibility of the stitchingand needle position.

Convertible Even Feed Foot Set.The Convertible set is the latest addition to the Janome range of Even Feed Feet and is designedwith convenient features for the Quilter. The set includes an Even Feed Foot with Closed –Toe,Convertible Open-Toe for extra visibility, a clip-on Ditch Quilting Guide and an Adjustableleft/right Quilting Guide. The new construction of these feet makes it easier than ever to set upfor all your quilting tasks.

Optional Quilting Guides.The guides included in the new Convertible Even Feed Foot Set are both compatible with allcurrent even feed feet which have a slot at the back cover. Because of this, Janome has alsointroduced these guides as an individual set for those who already have an even feed foot andjust want the added benefit of these guides.

Long Quilting Guide Bar Set.Don't waste time drawing straight lines on your quilt top! The Long Quilting Guide Bar is usedto keep lines of quilting straight. The new extra-long format allows spacing up to 4¼ ". The setincludes a Guide Bar for left and right placements, and the bars fit most Janome sewingmachines.

3-WAY CORDING FOOTThe 3-Way cording foot will hold one, two or three fine cords or threads. Because they are attached to thefoot, the required design can be easily followed and the cords are perfectly placed. A variety of utility, orembroidery stitches can be sewn over the cords to couch them onto base fabrics. The choice of cord, threadand stitch are all contributory factors to the final effect. (Another attractive technique for decorative work.)


ADJUSTABLE ZIPPER FOOT/PIPING FOOTThe piping foot will have its limitations when using thicker piping including the heavy jumbo cord and this iswhen the adjustable zipper foot will be invaluable. A screw-on type foot, it can be adjusted to fit snugly againstthe cord when covering your own piping or when attaching commercial piping. (An excellent alternative.)

APPLIQUE FOOTWhen doing appliqué we often use the standard satin stitch foot or, more recently, the open toe satin stitchfoot for greater visibility.

BLIND STITCH FOOT (G)Blind hemming can sometimes be a little bit tricky so the blind hem foot (G) goes some way to helping improvethis technique.

The Janome needle felting machines “FM725 and Xpression” have opened up a host of creativeopportunities for those who love to create original designs with new techniques.These embellishing machines work without thread, bobbins or tensions and have the samebasic shape as a conventional machine but that is where the similarity ends. They work by usingbarbed needles that travel down through the layers of fabric and decorative yarns and as theypenetrate they will pull fibres from the top layers and push them down through the base fabricmeshing them together.The fibres mingle to create new colour and texture combinations that simply cannot beachieved with embroidery, appliqué or any other kind of needle work. In needle felting thereis no “right side” or “wrong side”. Whether you push the fibres through from the front or the backdepends on the effect you are trying to achieve. By simply moving the layers under the needleyou can quickly create beautiful surface embellishment and every design will be unique. Youcan work with a multitude of fabrics such as wool, felt, wool roving, yarn, ribbon, silk, cottonand more.

Only Janome has multiple needle options to meet the variety of felting and embellishingprojects for all users from beginners to advanced felters.

Felting Machines


No matter how advanced or sophisticated the sewing machine has become the basic principle of selecting the correctneedle to be used must still apply. Quite simply, the finer the fabric the finer the needle, the heavier the fabric the heavierthe needle, but whether fine or heavy it is important to replace your needles regularly.

It is surprising how quickly needles can blunt especially when using synthetic fabrics so you should change your needleafter each project. Make sure that you throw away your used needles and do not keep them for use at a later date,remember a blunt needle will not only damage the fibers in your fabric but will also cause skipped stitches and possiblepuckering.

Choosing the correct type of needle for the fabric you are using is essential if your stitching is to be perfect, but a certainamount of confusion is still experienced by many sewers when trying to make this choice. With this in mind, we havecompiled a comprehensive guide to needles which is hoped will eliminate this problem.

IRON ON STABILISER BACKINGIt is important that the embroidery produced by the Memory Craft Machines should always look perfect, therefore, it isessential that the correct notions are used to achieve this result.

Many fall into the trap of using interfacings to support their fabric but they are not suitable as a backing support for yourembroidery. Interfacings are designed specifically for dressmaking, they are placed in between two pieces of fabric (i.e.collars, cuffs) to add support without stiffness and therefore they have a certain amount of give.

Embroidery however needs stabiliser fabric to avoid puckering and it is for this reason that we recommend the Janomestabilser which, whenever possible should be ironed on. This will stabilise the fibres of your fabric and prevent distortion.In the case of some designs where there is heavy embroidery stitching it may be necessary to use two or more layers ofstabiliser.

Ensure that the whole area of the fabric being put into the hoop is covered; this will also prevent the fabric from beingstretched by the hoop itself.

Once your design is completed, the stabiliser can be torn away. If you experience a problem when tearing away thestabiliser, run a warm iron over it and this will help it come away from the fabric much more easily. It is important that youthink in terms of stabilisers as opposed to interfacing in order to achieve the kind of beautiful embroidery you expectfrom your Memory Craft.

The stabiliser is white and comes on a roll 10 metres x 35cm.

SOLVY WATER SOLUBLE STABILISERCertain fabrics require extra attention when embroidering designs on them with Memory Cards. Fabrics such as toweling,velvet/draylon and knitwear all have the added problem of pile on the right side. To prevent the pile from spoiling yourembroidery designs it is important that you ‘keep it down’. This is done by putting a layer of water soluble stabiliser ontop of your fabric as you place it in your embroidery frame. The embroidery stitches will then sit on top of the pile asopposed to getting embedded into the pile and will result in a more professional finish. The water soluble stabiliser canthen be torn away and any residue left can be removed by dabbing it with cold water.The water soluble stabiliser comes on a roll 10 metres x 33cm.

BOBBIN THREADWhen using embroidery threads on your machine it is essential that your bobbin thread is compatible if you are to avoid tensionproblems. Embroidery thread is much finer than normal sewing thread and it is therefore important to use a quality brandedbobbin thread to compliment it. This will eliminate the bulk caused on the underside of your stitching adding to the overallappearance.

CONCEALED ZIPPER FOOTGood quality ready-to-wear garments will often have an “invisible zip “fitted. Unfortunately these zippers are sometimesneglected by the home dressmaker which is a great pity as they can ensure success every time and are so easy to fit.Concealed zips will always add that ‘professional finish’ to all your garments and with Janome’s Concealed Zipper Foot,this professional technique is made even easier to achieve. Concealed zips are suitable for almost all fabrics from fine silkjersey through to suit weight wools and tweeds. Once fitted they will be virtually invisible and will merely look part of theseam.The Concealed Zipper foot has grooves on the underside through which the teeth of the zipper will slide allowing theneedle to stitch almost underneath them. The zipper itself has teeth on the underside so when closed all that is seen isthe actual zip pull.

A basic guide on fitting your concealed zipper.

The zip is inserted before the seam is stitched so overlock the edge of yourfabric before attaching the zip.

1. Mark the seam line on your fabric either by tacking or with amarking chalk or pencil.

2. With the right sides together and the zipper open, pin and tackthe right side of the zip to the right side of the garment so thatthe coil is positioned along the seam line.

3. Place the zipper under the concealed zipper foot with the righthand groove of the foot over the zip coil. Secure stitches at thestart of the zip, stitch up to the zip pull and then secure endof stitches.

4. Pin and tack the other side of the zip along the seam line. Fit theleft groove of the foot over the zip coil and stitch towards the zippull again securing both ends of the zip tape.

5. Close the zip then pin and tack the seam below the zip end. Usingeither your standard sewing foot or zipper foot, carefully lowerthe needle into the fabric slightly above the last stitch sewn onthe zipper tape and just a fraction to the left of the stitching. Stitchfrom the zip to the hem, securing stitching at both ends. Pressseam open.

If preferred you can use a machine stitch to secure the zipper tape to thefabric which would help to eliminate any pull on the zipper itself.

And there you have it, a professional fitting zip every time.

Hints & Tips


PIPING FOOT

Piping can add interest and definition to seams and edges on garments,soft furnishings, fashion accessories and craft items. Whilst it is often seenas a decorative addition it can also serve as a stabiliser adding shape andcontrol to many projects. Unfortunately it’s not always easy to find suitableready -made piping cord especially with regard to colour, which leaves youwith no other option than to make your own. This option can now of coursemade easier with the help of the Janome “Piping Foot” which is ideal forcovering and attaching piping cord up to 5mm in diameter. This very usefulfoot is designed with two grooves on the underside which help to hold andcover the piping cord whilst sewing, making the whole process that mucheasier and more professional.

Fabric to be used for piping must always be cut on the bias. Woven fabricsare ideal cut on the bias and allow the covered piping to shape aroundcurves and corners smoothly. Knit fabrics can also be cut crosswise with the stretch whilst lightweight silks, satins and silk dupion also makefor beautiful piping. Some materials however, such as faux leather and suede may not have enough “give” in the crosswise grain to be ableto work effectively and as these materials can vary, it is advisable to try them out on a test piece first.

Making and Attaching Piping Cord

1. Cut bias strips of fabric wide enough to wrap around the piping cord plus 2.5cm (1”) for seam allowance.

2. Join the bias strips as necessary using a ¼” seam as shown in diagram below.

3. Place the cord to the wrong side of the bias strip and fold the strip around the cord matching the fabric edges. Place under the piping foot making sure that it sits into the relevant groove.

4. Set machine to straight stitch. Stitch close to the cord adjusting the needle position to move the stitch closer if necessary.

Now you have your own “Custom Made” piping cord.

ADJUSTABLE ZIPPER/PIPING FOOT

Although the Piping Foot is a handy foot to add to your sewing box it willhave limitations when using thicker piping including the heavy jumbocords. This is when the adjustable zipper / piping foot will be invaluable.This is a very narrow, hinged foot that screws on as opposed to the clip ontype foot. Once screwed on it can then be adjusted to fit snugly against thethicker cords. It is certainly one to add to your collection of sewing feet anda perfect partner for the piping foot.

Button Shank PlateThe Janome Button Shank Plate is an extremely versatile piece ofequipment. It was originally designed to be used when sewingon buttons where a larger thread shank was needed especiallyfor Jackets and Coats. However, it has become increasinglypopular as an aid to overcoming the problems of thick seamssuch as those found on Denim Jeans. Most sewers haveexperienced the problem of thick seams either whendressmaking or doing home furnishings. When you come to thethick seam you either end up with a run of tiny stitches whereyou sew over “the hump” or you try pulling your sewing throughand risk breaking needles.

The Button Shank Plate Is The Answer.Sometimes known in America as the “Humper Jumper”, once you’ve tried it you will understand why they gave it thisnickname as this clever attachment helps you over all those “humps” caused by thick seams.

Follow these instructions and see the difference this little gadget can make.Stitch to the point on the fabric where the “toes “of the foot have reached the thick seam and then stop and lower theneedle into the fabric. Raise the presser foot and place the Shank Plate under the rear of the foot to bring it level withthe seam. The Shank Plate has two ends of varying thickness so use the end that is most suitable to bring you level.Stitch until half way across the seam then stop and lower the needle into the fabric. Remove the Shank Plate from therear of the foot and place it in the front of foot. Stitch again until the foot is onto the Plate. Lower the needle into thefabric once more, remove the Plate and continue stitching. You will find that you have stitched over the thick seam veryeasily and have maintained an even stitch length. The “Shank Plate” is also useful for working on thick fabric when experiencing difficulties at the start of a seam. Placethe Shank Plate at the back of the fabric and under the rear of the presser foot to bring it level, once again using therelevant end of the plate to achieve this. When you begin to stitch you will be able to start easily at the edge of thefabric and again maintain an even stitch length.

And Sewing On Buttons?Let’s not forget what the Button Shank Plate was originally intended for. When attaching a button to a thicker fabric, such as when making a Coat or Jacket, you need to make a “shank” for thebutton. When sewing on the button, place the Shank Plate between the button and the fabric as shown in diagram 1.Once the button is stitched, remove the fabric and pull the thread at the end of the stitching to bring the bobbin threadup to the top. Draw both threads between the button and the fabric, wind the threads around the button to form a“shank” and then knot them together to secure the ends. See Diagram 2.(This is certainly one for your Sewing Box)

Button Shank Plate – See Page 9


Machine MaintenanceWe should all be aware of the importance of keeping our sewingmachines clean. Each time a needle penetrates the fabric, tinyfragments are torn off which build up under the feed teeth andbobbin holder. Dust and fluff from your sewing thread add to thisbuild up and if not cleaned regularly your machine will becomenoisy and perform less effectively. If left too long before cleaning,the dust and lint can become impacted between the feed teethand consequently prevent them from feeding the fabric throughso leaving you with an even bigger problem.

It is important to remove the needle plate and the bobbin case atregular intervals, depending obviously on the amount of sewingthat you do, and give your machine a thoroughly good clean. Oil ifappropriate but do remember that Janome top loading machinesare “self oiling “and require no extra oil.

One part of the sewing machine that often gets neglected whencleaning is the area between the “tension discs”. Most users don’teven realise that this needs to be done, because they can’t see themthey don’t even think about them. Imagine the two tension discswith thousands of metres of sewing thread skimming betweenthem, threads possibly shredding (especially poor quality threads)metallic threads with all their little bits being stripped off as theygo between the discs. It’s also important not to remove the topthread from your machine while the presser foot is down as thiswill skim the thread and leave even more fluff. All of this willeventually result in a build up of dust and lint etc. lodged betweenthe tension discs and rendering them totally ineffective.

Cleaning the Tension Discs.Use a long bristled lint brush. Unthread the machine and leave thepresser foot up as this will automatically release the tension discsallowing the brush to get between them. Brush firmly up and downbetween the discs. It will also help if you place a piece of thin cottonfabric between the discs, and then lower the presser foot to engagethem. Draw the fabric through the discs in the same direction thatthe sewing thread passes. All dust and lint should now be removed.

Cleaning your machine takes matter ofminutes, don’t neglect it.

Bobbin Know HowWinding a bobbin is an easy task yet an important element for good stitch quality.All Janome “top loading” machines use the same plastic bobbins.Metal bobbins should never be used in these machines as they will interfere with the magnetic hook system and couldresult in a damaged bobbin case as well as affecting the quality of the stitch. Both plastic and metal bobbins can beused in “front loading “machines.Size of bobbin is also a key factor and with several different sizes available on the market, it is essentials that only Janomebobbins are used in your Janome machines. An “alien bobbin” could affect your stitch quality and ultimately result inbobbin case damage.A medium speed is recommended when winding your bobbins so that your thread will wind evenly and also to avoidstretching of the thread which can occur when winding at fast speeds.Tension is also an important element so ensure that your thread is correctly inserted into your bobbin winder tensionunit. Without tension your bobbin will wind very loose and uneven.Finally, as always, good quality thread will give the best results.

Ultra Glide FootFabrics such as leather, suede, vinyl and plastic coated fabrics are verymuch in vogue with today’s fashions and fashion accessories. However,such challenging fabrics can create certain frustrations when trying tosew them. Some of these fabrics may bind under metal feet oftencausing problems in consistent feeding and resulting in poor stitchquality. The answer is the Janome “Ultra Glide Foot”. Sometimes called a“Teflon Foot” it is moulded from a special resin and glides over difficultsurfaces with ease, improving stitch quality in many problem fabrics.Excellent for stitching Velcro, it is certainly one to consider adding toyour collection.

Ribbon EmbroideryRibbon embroidery is a very attractive embellishmentand can be used to add detail to soft furnishings suchas bed linens and table linens. It is also very decorativefor bridal wear, lingerie and even craft work.

It is not a difficult technique but requires a littlepatience and practice. It is achieved by using ribbonon the bobbin and sewing on the reverse side of thefabric. Depending on which type of fabric used, it mayrequire stabilizing either with tear-away or iron-onstabilizer. If a very lightweight fabric is used you mayprefer to use a liquid stabiliser or spray starch.

It’s always advisable to do a sew test beforeproceeding with your project to establish the bestpreparation.

Note: This technique can only be used with top loading machines.

Method

You will require 3mm width ribbon

• Wind the ribbon onto the bobbin very tightly and evenlymaking sure that the ribbon does not twist. When wound itis advisable to put a pin into the end of the ribbon toprevent it from becoming unravelled until you are ready toinsert it into the bobbin case.

• Ensure that the beginning end of the ribbon is notprotruding – snip it close to the bobbin if necessary.

• Place the bobbin into the bobbin holder in the normal waywith the ribbon coming off the bobbin counter clockwise.

• DO NOT bring the ribbon forward into the tension spring.

• Turn the balance wheel towards you bringing the ribbon uponto the needle plate. Leave a short tail.

• Set the tension to number 6.

• As you will be stitching from the reverse side of the fabricyou will need to mark your stitching lines on that side.

• To create the ribbon embellishment you can use eitherstraight stitch or zig zag. For straight stitch use a centreneedle position and a stitch length of 4.

On the samples shown in the picture a zig zag stitch was usedwith a stitch length of 3 and a width of 3. Other variations canbe used, just have fun trying.

It is easy to elaborate further by adding other decorativetechniques such as pin tucking and embroidery stitches asshown on the picture above.


Finger GuardThere are many of us who like to encourage ourchildren and grandchildren to sew and take greatpleasure in watching their individual styles andcreative talents blossom. We also know the importanceof safety when young people are using sewingmachines especially with regard to “fingers andneedles”.

Janome can go some way in helping to avoid some ofthose little accidents with the use of the NeedleFinger Guard.This clever safety device will attach to any Janomesewing machine (with the exception of the MiniRange) and help to prevent fingers getting too nearthe sewing needle.

Easy to Attach

• Loosen the foot holder screw.

• Slide on the finger guard and adjust the position.

• Tighten up the screw.

It couldn’t be easier.

Note: Supervision is still recommended even with the finger guard fitted as it is not a substitutefor careful attention when children are using sewing machines.

Appliqué FootMachine Appliqué is a wonderful way to add uniquedesigns to furnishings, fashion and craft.

As with all special sewing techniques, it’s important to usethe correct needles and threads. But equally important, isusing the right presser foot.

The standard satin stitch is generally the one used forappliqué work however, Janome also has a dedicated“Appliqué Foot “in its range of accessories which reallymakes this creative task so much easier.

As with the satin stitch foot, the Appliqué Foot is made ofa clear synthetic material making it lighter and alsoallowing the extra visibility that is so important when yourequire the accuracy needed for appliqué. But it also hasthe added benefit of an elevated heel which allows a closesatin stitch to be sewn without it being flattened into thefabric. It’s also shorter than a standard foot making iteasier for manoeuvring around those tricky curves andcorners.

Beautiful appliqué results are possible with this cleverlittle foot

Note:Because of the elevated heel on theappliqué foot it is only compatible with machines thathave the extra heel ledge on the footholder.(See diagram) Heel Ledge

Tips for Appliqué

• What’s the secret to smooth appliqué pieces? Using stabiliser.

Place stabiliser beneath the foundation fabric before you begin to appliqué your pieces. Thiswill prevent unsightly puckers that pull at the foundation. Stabiliser is used beneath appliquéfoundations to add support and to eliminate puckers and pulling on the fabric as you stitch.

• Use fusible webbing on the pieces to be appliquéd. Fusible webbing, such as “Heat & Bond” isbasically a paper backed web of glue that can be fused to fabric turning it into a kind of “iron-on patch. It also acts as a stabiliser making it possible to use a wider variety of fabrics for appliquéincluding stretch knits.

Easy Button SewingButtons are generally viewed as a practical item in oursewing box and many of us have accumulated a largeand varied collection of them over the years both plainand ornate.

Buttons are one of the oldest and most widely usedtypes of fasteners and are generally divided into twobasic types, sew-through buttons and shaft buttons.

Other than their obvious use, buttons have becomemore and more popular with craft enthusiasts and arenow often used as an embellishment on fashionaccessories such as bags and belts etc.

The sew-through type of button has either two or fourholes and thread is passed through the holes and thematerial to bind the buttons in place.

This is generally done by hand but it can also be doneon your sewing machine using the special Janomebutton sewing foot. This clever little foot has tworubberised feet that are designed to hold the buttonfirmly in place whilst the needle on your sewingmachine swings from left to right through the holes.

Sewing buttons on by machine helps to eliminate anypull on the fabric which sometimes occurs whenstitching them on by hand.

How To Use

• Lower the feed dogs.

• Attach the button sewing foot and select straight stitch.

• Place the button in position on your fabric. It can be held it in place with a piece of low adhesivesticky tape.

• Place the fabric and button under the presser foot and align the needle with the hole on theleft side of the button.

• Sew 3-4 stitches to secure the thread end. (If your machine has an automatic locking stitch youcan use this as an option).

• Select the zig-zag stitch. Set the stitch width so that needle clears both holes in the button whenmoving from left to right. (Always test the width by turning your hand wheel manually towardsyou before sewing).

• Sew 4- 5 zig-zag stitches then select straight stitch.

• Make sure the needle is aligned with the left hole on the buttonthen sew 3-4 stitches to securelock stitch)

It‘s a quick, easy and much more professional way to sew onbuttons and certainly worth a try.

Twin Needles – Twice the InspirationSome sewers are unsure of twin needles, whether they can use one on their machine and if so, whatare they used for?Twin needles are constructed with two shafts on a crossbar that extend from asingle shank. They are often used for heirloom sewing, decorative stitching andanywhere where you may require multiple rows of uniform straight stitching suchas top stitching or pin tucking.Sizing of twin needles is slightly different than other needles as there are twonumbers listed on the packaging. The first number represents the distancebetween the needles and the second number is the metric needle size.

Janome has two twin needle types available – 2mm & 6mm.

Use the 2mm for decorative and corded pin tucks. The 6mm is perfect for top stitching.

Setting Up for Twin Needle Sewing

1. Setting up the machine for use with twin needle is quite simple. Insertthe twin needle into your needle shaft just as you would insert a regularneedle.

Place your two reels of thread on the spool holders so that the threadscome off in opposite directions, one clockwise and the second counterclockwise. This will prevent the threads from possibly tangling as you sew.

2. Continue by threading the two needles through the machine followingthe normal thread path and separating them just before the needles. Theleft thread will go through the needle thread guide on the left side of theneedle and the right hand thread through the right hand thread guide.This will help to keep the two threads separate.3. Thread each thread through the eye of the corresponding needle.Manually turn the hand wheel on the side of the machine towards youto bring up the bobbin thread and you are ready to sew.Note: Automatic needle threaders cannot be used with twin needle.

If sewing decorative stitching it is important to reduce the width of the stitch to approximately3mm to prevent the right hand needle from hitting the presser foot. Rotate the hand wheel towardsyou several times to check that the needle will not hit the foot when forming the selected pattern.(Some computerised machines have an automatic twin needle setting.)

It’s fun to experiment with zig zag and utility stitches and then move on to embroidery patterns.Try using different colours of thread in each needle or even toning threads. You will be amazed atthe results.

Twin Needle for Knits

When sewing with a twin needle two lines of stitching are formed an equal distance apart. On the underside there is only one thread coming from the bobbin. The bobbin thread

goes from side to side to catch each top thread so creating a zig zag stitch underneath.One of the great advantages of this is that the zig zag provides a built-in stretch stitchmaking twin needle stitching ideal for working on knit fabrics. It makes professional lookinghems and can also be used around necklines when applying binding or trims giving that allimportant stretch without breaking stitches.

Pin TucksPin Tucks are tiny ‘false’ tucks created by sewing parallel rowsof stitching using a 2mm twin needle and a Pin Tuck Foot. Pin Tucks are often associated with Heirloom sewingespecially on such items as Christening gowns. But they canactually give a new dimension to other aspect of sewingsuch as fashion garments and home furnishing items likebed linens and table linens.

Using a Pin Tuck Foot with the twin needle helps to spacethe tucks an equal distance apart. It has multiple grooves onthe underside through which the pin tucks can ride as yousew the adjacent rows.

Making Standard Pin Tucks

• Insert the twin needle – size 2mm and attach the pin tuck foot

• Select Straight Stitch – centre needle position - Stitch Length 1.8 – 2.5

• Tension Approx – 7 Pressure – 2

• Thread the machine for twin needle sewing making sure that eachthread passes through the corresponding thread guide on each sideof the needle.

• Mark the fabric for placement of the first row of pin tucks. It is essentialthat that the first row is perfectly straight as it will determine theaccuracy of the consecutive rows.

• Stitch the first row of tucks with the centre of the pin tuck foot on themarked placement line.

• Stitch the second row of tucks in the same direction and so on for all theremaining tucks. Use the edge of the foot alongside the previous row oftucks or allow the previous row to sit in a groove in the pin tuck footdepending on the distance apart that you prefer.


Making Corded Pin TucksCorded Pin Tucks are more distinctive and add an extra dimension to pintucking. The effect is produced by stitching over fine cord such as perlecotton to create a more raised effect. Thanks to the Janome Pin Tuck CordGuides this effect is very easy to achieve. There are two guides in the set,one for cord up to 1.5mm in diameter and one for cord up to 2.5mm.

• To use: Remove the plastic bobbin cover on the machine and replaceit with the chosen Cord Guide. Place the cord into the guide.

• Select a straight stitch –centre needle position and a tension of approx. 7.

• Place the fabric under the foot making sure that the cord is in position between the twin needles.Hold the thread at the back of the foot and sew slowly. It couldn’t be easier.

Note: Pin Tuck Cord Guides are only available for top loading machines.

Hemmer Foot.The Hemmer Foot, sometimes referred to as the “RolledHemmer,” has no equal when it comes to finishing theedges of fabrics with your sewing machine. It isdesigned to create narrow hems, much narrower thanyou would actually achieve by manual turning andstitching. You will be truly impressed with the tiny,perfect hems that this speciality foot can stitch. TheHemmer Foot is equipped with a scroll shaped feederon the top and a straight groove on the undersidewhich determines the width of the hem.

There are three sizes of hemmer feet available. The 2mm foot is suitable for tiny, narrow hems on lightweight fabrics and the best choice for sewingcurves. The 4mm is also ideal for lightweight fabrics but gives a slightly wider hem. The 6mm is beston medium to heavy fabrics and creates the widest hem.

Getting Started

Getting the first stitches at the edge of the fabric to be perfect can be a little tricky as the feed dogswill only be partially covered by the fabric and may have a hard time “picking up” when you begin.

Follow this simple technique:

• First sew five or six straight stitches on the end of the fabric tobe rolled. (Fig.1)

• Do not cut the thread tails. Leave them so that you can threadthem through the hemmer foot. (Fig.2)

• Hold the threads to the back of the foot keeping them taughtas you make the first few stitches of the hem. The fabric will feedthrough the scroll and will roll close to the raw edge of thefabric. (Fig.3)

Tips for success with the Hemmer Foot

• Choose a needle that is appropriate for the fabric remembering that the needle is penetratingthree fabric layers as it rolls the edge. A needle that is too large will push the fabric down intothe hole on the needle plate and could cause delicate fabrics to get caught up.

• It is easier to produce a narrow hem on a straight grain edge than on as bias edge. Extra caremust be taken with a bias edge as it can have a tendency to stretch.

• Use a smaller stitch length for fine fabrics and a longer stitch length for heavier fabrics.

• It is important to have a very neat edge to your fabric with no loose threads. Cutting with a rotarycutter will give you a very smooth cut edge.

Bias Binder FootAttaching bias binding can be a tricky job. Whether you have purchased pre-folded bias binding oryou are attaching your own bias strip, it’s a task that can be made much easier with the aid of the“Bias Binder Foot”.

This handy foot is equipped with a small funnel which folds and guides the binding over the fabricedge before it reaches the needle.The result is perfectly bound edges.

How to use

• Before attaching the foot to the machine, feed thebias tape into the funnel. Clip the end of the biastape into a diagonal point to help feed it through.

• As you feed the bias into the funnel, nudge thepointed end of the tape through the narrow endof the funnel using a straight pin.

• Pull the pointed end of the bias tape through thehole and under the foot plate. Attach the foot tothe sewing machine.

• Slide the fabric to be bound into the centre of thefoot beside the funnel and sew using your selectedstitch to attach the binding. While sewing, use yourleft hand to keep the fabric edge in position in thecone while guiding the bias strip with your righthand. The funnel will feed and fold the bias strip tocreate perfect bindings.

• Keep the bias tape feeding straight into the binder so that an equal amount of tape is fed onthe top and bottom. Make sure that the fabric doesn’t slide out from between the cone as yousew.

Binding a curved edge

Curved edges require a little more guiding to make sure that the raw edge is evenly bound.

Inside Curve

• For softer fabrics or for fabrics that fray, stay-stitch the curved edge to be bound beforeinserting the edge into the centre of the cone. As you sew, straighten the edge in front of thefoot making sure that it remains in the cone.

Outside Curve

• When binding an outside curve the fabric can have a tendency to pull out of the cone whilesewing. To ensure the edge is completely bound, guide the fabric keeping the edge in linewith the needle. Trying to straighten or pulling the fabric will result in a rippled binding.

10mm – 14mm Bias Tape can be used.

Ultimate RufflerThe Ruffler has been around for a long time and haschanged very little over the years yet it still remains avery popular attachment.At first sight it may appear bulky and complicated butits innovative design makes it very easy to use. Thisdesign allows fabric to be ruffled or pleated bothquickly and easily, and with an option to vary the sizesof the ruffles, it’s a great timesaver when creating yardsof gathered and pleated fabrics. Designed with a “fork arm” that is placed around theneedle screw, the up and down action of the needlebar causes the ruffler blade to move in and outpinching small amounts of fabric and pushing themunder the needle to create the pleats and ruffles.There is a lever that controls the fullness of the pleatsand ruffles and a screw to control their depth l. As wellas creating yards of professional looking pleats, it cansimultaneously gather and stitch onto a flat piece offabric in one simple operation.There is an easy clip-on Ruffler Attachment to suit all Janome machines.

Tips for Success with the Ruffler

• Make sure that your needle is in securely as somevibration is created when using the Ruffler andcould cause it to fall out. Secure it with yourscrewdriver but don’t over tighten.

• Always pull the fabric out from the back toremove rather than towards the front as the teethon the Ruffler blade could catch the fabric.

• As you gather or pleat your layers, make sure thatthe seam allowances on your layers are even. It iseasy for a layer to slide to the left as you aresewing.

• Remember that your stitch length will affect theregularity of the ruffles or pleats, for example, theshorter the stitch length the closer the ruffles andpleats, the longer the stitch length the wider apartthey will be.

• Sew at a steady medium speed.

• The Ruffler is only suitable for light to mediumweight fabrics.

Rotary Even FootMost sewing machine presser feet are flat, so what do you when thereis significant difference in the height of your fabric on the left of theneedle from that on the right such as when finishing hems and edgesof thick materials? This is when the unique design of the Rotary Footcomes into play. It’s a “caterpillar foot” which accommodates aleft–right tilt as the caterpillars independently grip the fabric givingexceptional control, even over thick seams.

Suitable for all Janome machines with clip-on feet, it’s alsoeffective in preventing such fabrics as jersey and knits fromstretching or hard to feed materials like leather and vinyl fromsticking under the foot.

This very clever foot also comes completewith some very useful attachments.
